clergy is also plural (even without the s) cleric is the singular.
rain is sort of plural
Incorrecta, lo siento.
why isn’t my “n” post going through?
It went through 7 minutes ago.
what do you mean by incorrect.
is the riddle: which word is different?
or is the riddle: which word is different according to my calendar?
why isn’t my “n” post going through?
M80- you’re answer of the 3 vowels makes perfect sense.
I accept it as an answer even if ICOT won’t!
thank you
and i accept your n one
as well as the one that only enemy starts with a vowel

Hmmm, I guess I’d go with “which word is different according to my calendar?”
OK, here’s another hint:
What can you do with three of the words that you can’t do with the other one?
clergy is singular (clergies is plural)& is a collective noun…other common collective nouns are class, crowd, flock, panel, committee, group, audience, staff, and family.
rain is also singular, as is enemy
pains is not
M80- I also accept your beginning with a vowel theory, ,even if the author won’t 😉
“OK, here’s another hint:
What can you do with three of the words that you can’t do with the other one? “
That’s more than a little hint.
I think enemy is the odd one. The others are also part of a longer word: painstaking, rainbow, clergyman.
Is that it?
rise up against your enemy, pains & rain?
ICOT
TUff sTUff

am yisrael chai nice try but the remaining letters of startling must be in the correct order. You almost got it.
It goes like this:
STARTLING
STARTING
STARING
STRING
STING
SING
SIN
IN

am yisrael chai–
“TUff sTUff“
?
Actually, the “Tuesday” ones that you got were a lot tougher.

“Is that it?“
‘fraid not.
==========================
OK, more hints.
If these don’t help, I’ll b”n post the solution tomorrow.
The next group of words also meet the criterion of the three “in” words above:
Also
Rabies
Serial
Regalia
Big mule (yes, this appears to be two words)
Like a Schoolmaster in The Classroom, your wisdom will become clear to all when you discover the common property for the above words.
Maybe clergy cuz pains rains and enemy all have a negative connotation?
scrambled gives you names of countries
Rain=Iran
pains=Spain
Regalia=Algeria
Also=Laos
taken from Yahoo Answers found by a Google search
(kol ha’omer davar b’sheim amro meivee geulah l’olam ;))
I don’t know which ONE is the odd one out though, enemy or clergy
unless enemy gets rearranged to meeny and clergy can’t get rearranged
enemy = yemen
clergy is the odd one out…!!!!
enemy scrambled is YEMEN!!!!!!
good job coffee addict 😉
pains-Spain
rain- Iran
enemy-Yemen
clergy- gornisht!
Also- Laos
Rabies-Serbia (Siberia-need 2 i’s)
Serial- Israel
Regalia-Algeria
Big mule-Belgium

I don’t know why I couldn’t find it in an anagram site

Congrats to all.
Nothing like a little teamwork, eh?
Moderator-80–
Now that the answer is out, are you more positively inclined toward that one?
=========================
Anyone else have one?
ICOT,
I quoted my source hence no plagiarism here 😉
i have to salve my wounded ego, and give it some thought, but lets not make this kind of riddle a “serial” event
get it?

Icot will take PAINS to make sure that he won’t.
Besides, he wouldn’t want to turn you into his ENEMY ALSO.

Riddle
ok, so what’s about the year 1961 that’s so special that it will never happen again? and,no, it’s not that 1961 won’t occur again!
am yisrael chai-
A couple of years ago several posters were interested in ascii art.
The first page of the following thread may have useful how-to info:
It wouldn’t be fair for me to answer your riddle – I collect coins and noticed the anomally several years ago.
(It will happen again, but it’ll be a while until it does.)
“(It will happen again, but it’ll be a while until it does.)”
I’ve always been taught that ???? ??? ends at 6000 max…do you know differently?
ok, so what’s about the year 1961 that’s so special that it will never happen again? and,no, it’s not that 1961 won’t occur again!
It reads the same upside down. But that will happen again in 6009, won’t it?
MII- ugotit! 🙂
am yisrael chai-
“I’ve always been taught that ???? ??? ends at 6000 max…do you know differently?“
I learned that Moshiach will come by (our calendar) year 6000.
After he comes, I believe there are differences of opinion as to what the world will be like.
I didn’t factor that in my earlier reply.
When I was a kid, I would show a 1961 Lincoln penny upside down and say “look – they put the date upside down by mistake”.
Several people agreed, at least for a few seconds.
Icot, just curious, is there anything that you don’t know??!
am yisrael chai-
“…just curious, is there anything that you don’t know??! “
Ummmm, how about “the answer to that question”?
?
Ok, ok, – just as a starting point you can find literally dozens of factual errors, spelling mistakes, poor grammar and simple vocabulary mistakes throughout my posts.
Please see the last paragraph of the following post for a partial “mea culpa”:
http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/topic/miscellaneous-plumbing-tips#post-114969
Wow. If you can list your limitations that is amazing! I can only list my good qualities.
ok, ICOT, so you’re not a plumber or electrician.
That leaves you with a kabillion minus 2 job possibilities with all that knowledge & varied interests..
so how did u come to decide on which career to choose IIMA?
veteran-
u should get in touch with those people who can only enumerate their negative qualities…someone’s bound to get to the shvil hazahav 🙂
There are 3 people with the same name written in the Torah. One was born a Jew and died a Jew. The other was born a Goy and died a Goy. And the other was born a Goy and died a Jew. Who are they?
a schizoprenic? JK
???
Lol, but sorry not the right answer.
Zechariah, Azariah, Shemaiah, Meshullam, Maasaiah, or Shimei?
many people had these names in Tanach, perhaps one of them?
